#44 Marcus Washington, LB6-0, 250, Keysville GA (Burke County HS), Sr.Washington committed to the Dawgs way back in May of 2004 as the first commitment of the 2005 signing class. He played in every game as a true freshman, tallying 11 tackles. In 2006 he played significant minutes on the field before suffering a knee injury toward the end of the season, which kept him out of the Peach Bowl. Last year he started 6 games, still battling injuries throughout the season. His best game (without a doubt) at UGA was at Alabama, where he logged 8 tackles before having to leave the game just before the overtime period. Marcus is a true warrior on the field and a tackling machine, but injuries have been his downfall to this point.Depth Chart Analysis: Marcus will also sit out the entire 2008 season after having shoulder surgery in late March. Before the injury, he was probably pegged to start, or at least challenge for a starting spot. Thankfully, he does get a redshirt and is expected to be around for 2009.

I really like Washington. He's cut from the same cloth as Tony Gilbert. Hardnosed, tough football player. The type of player that can impose his will on another team. Our defense was always better when he was on the field. He will be a huge addition to the team next season.

Sorry chief, you are flat-out wrong. All the conjecture you're referring to was from Chip's AJC blog a couple of weeks ago. He corrected himself the following day. Washington will be able to practice in October, but he will be redshirting in '08 and will play out his final year of eligibility in '09. That is a FACT.

anonymous @ 3:20...Sorry guy, but you are a dick. Could I just delete your trash since you lack any class...sure. But I'm not going to. I like different opinions, even from those that post anonymously and bring nothing relevant to the table.

"This blog is a joke"..lol...start your own damn blog then. Let me know what it's called and I'll link it on here.

"get your facts straight"... lol ...until someone links anything other than what is out there Marcus ain't playing in '08. I believe I'll take Claude Felton's word (see below) for what will probably happen to Marcus this season. If you have other news feel free to link it.

Also anonymous @3:20 feel free to quit clicking on the C&C links when you are at Dawgbone...it's not us that is linking some of our posts to their site. They think Dawg fans would like some of C&C's content, and I for one am honored that they do. This countdown is done for the enjoyment of a lot of Dawgs out there to get them prepared for the season by catching them up on the backgrounds of 99 players on the roster...this countdown is not done for "that guy" that everyone knows one of that thinks he knows more than everyone else and is uncomfortable to be around in a social setting. Sorry you haven't developed quality social skills. Really, I am.

A qualifier on Marcus Washington. According to Claude Felton, who spoke to the training staff, Washington is definitely not going to play this season. Going to redshirt. I asked Washington on Tuesday in a passing conversation when he was going to come back and he clearly said “October” but he probably meant that’s when he’s going to return to the practice field. Sorry for any confusion."

Anyhow anonymous @3:20...thanks for reading and stay classy.

To everyone else...sorry if I'm offending anyone. We do appreciate how many people have come here and contributed...it makes it fun and is what has gotten us to keep doing this even when we just started for fun. If you have any questions or comments or ideas feel free to email me at catfishandcornbread@gmail.com

Anonymous sounds like a front runner to me. He is probably a UGA fan because of Hershel Walker and I'm sure he is a Tim Tebow and Florida fan as well. The Fact is buddy this site Does Work Son and it is custom made, so learn to love it cause diamonds are forever and so is catfish and cornbread! P.s. Anonymous no bitchassness! Hoffa

JJ, I know this guy anonymous @ 3:20 bugs you but you're not going to please everybody all the time. If you did, this would be a very boring blog.

With that said, nobody who contributes to this site is a professional writer or blogger. We each have our own temperaments and talents to this little blog here. In fact, several contributors I know have very time consuming jobs and tremendous family obligations, yet they find the time to write and in the process try and entertain a few people. I can only speak for me, but I think I speak for other contributors, we do it for fun and a hobby.

I have been reading JJ's countdown for probably 8 to 10 years now, I can't really remember, but it's been a long time. I'm excited that he's finally brought it to the internet for others to enjoy and I think plenty of people who read this site will agree.

Now, anonymous @ 3:20 I join with the others and say good riddance to you.
